39 seconds and 44 frames faster than the previously submitted movie. The routes used are mostly the same (except Level 11), but have been much more aggressively optimised.

Bisqwit: Queuing for processing. Ps: This movie doesn't need the fakemute setting -- it plays correctly without it, too.

Mainly it shows more of the game, and, well, pulling very rapid kills on guards is a bit more entertaining then just slipping past them, and showcases more skill. I think a few other versions of POP have tasing potential. The Mega CD version, the PC Engine version, and maybe the pc-98 version all have a speed option that allows you to increase the speed of the game by a large amount. Specifically, 60fps when not lagging. Much better than 15 FPS. :) The delay is the number of real time frames used for one in game frame. so speed 1 is 60 fps, speed2 is 30 fps, speed 3 is 20, speed 4 is 15, etc. Defaults in these version range between 2 and 4. Battle speed and out of battle speed are set separately, but in a TAS no reason not to use speed 1 for both. :) And the ingame timer isn't affected by the speed, so in game time is also better. Additionally the PC engine version has some unique bugs that allow for shortcuts. :) Like falling over 2 floors and grabbing an edge NOT killing you. I know two major skips made possible by this bug. Sound fun?
